Kramer PT-571HDCP [5/12] About the power connect feature

Overview

3.1 Summarizing the DVI Line Transmitter / Receiver System

Using the PT-571HDCP DVI Line Transmitter with the PT-572HDCP DVI

Line Receiver constitutes a DVI-to-twisted pair transmitter and receiver

system. The DVI Line Transmitter / Receiver system features:

• System Range

• Cables – For optimum range and performance, use Kramer's

BC-DGKat524, BC-DGKat623 and BC-DGKat7a23

- Up to 90m (295ft) at SXGA, or up to 30m (98ft) at

UXGA on shielded BC-DGKat524 cable; 90m (295ft) at SXGA, or up to

70m (230ft) at UXGA on shielded BC-DGKat623 cable; 100m (330ft)

at SXGA or up to 80m (265ft) at UXGA on shielded BC-DGKat7a23

cable

• Max Data Rate/Bandwidth up to 1.65Gbps

• HDTV compatibility

• HDCP compliance

• The passing of EDID

and HPD

• Power Connect™ feeding 12V DC over the CAT 5 cable from

transmitter to receiver (see section

signals from the source to the

display device using the CAT 5 cable

3.2

)

• Two DVI-I connectors, that are compatible with all types of DVI cables

Note that only the digital signal (DVI D) is available on the DVI connector.

3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the

transmitter, can be connected to a power source when the devices are within

270 feet (90 meters) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as

long as the cable can carry power. The distance does not exceed 90 meters on

standard CAT 5 cable, for longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

1 Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance using non-

Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6 and CAT 7a cables may not reach these ranges

3 Hot Plug Detect

4 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
